Increasing concern over low child vaccination rates and a potential measles epidemic has resulted in a primary health provider finding a novel way to boost patient jabs.

The Cause Collective in Wiri, South Auckland, offered appointment vaccinations for measles today – as well as free donuts and family portraits for people to take home.

Epidemiologist Professor Michael Baker said childhood vaccination rates are at their lowest level nationwide since 2009.

“That means we’re building up more and more people who are vulnerable to measles,” Baker said. “So inevitably, we get cases introduced to New Zealand all the time, and that could spark an outbreak which could quickly turn into a national epidemic.” Sweet treats on offer for Kiwis turning out for measles shot (1news.co.nz)
